2021 Map of Bradfield Canal A-2 SE

About this map

Chickamin River winds through this heavily glaciated region within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the dramatic glacial topography of Southeast Alaska. This modern survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, records the current state of frozen landscapes and high-altitude peaks such as Mt Wilson and Banded Mtn. The map shows the expansive reaches of the Chickamin Glacier and Through Glacier, which feed the river systems below. These features are critical for understanding the hydrological and geomorphic character of the Bradfield Canal area, where vertical relief and moving ice dominate the environment. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of this federal land, serving as a baseline for environmental study and mountaineering navigation.
